Baumkuchen in Munich
 
Any suggestions on where specifically to find some good Baumkuchen in Munich? We'll be staying near the Hauptbahnhof.

That's an easy one.
Kreutzkamm is THE place for Baumkuchen in Munich. Founded in Dresden but for decades in Munich.
Two cafes (also take-away), the closest to the central station is Pacellistr. 5 @ Lenbachplatz.
The other is Maffeistr. 4, near Marienplatz.

Fantastic Cowboy, thank you!

Any other not-to-miss treats on the off chance I've missed them previously?

Best hot chocolate? (have already discovered Chocolaterie Beluga).

Sorry, I‘m afraid that I don‘t know much about hot chocolate 🙁
For solid chocolate, Läderach is a sure bet. Swiss „chain“ that has chocolate stores in some cities in Germany. In Munich, there is one in the underground „mall“ at Stachus / Karlsplatz.
Otherwise, Dallmayr near Marienplatz (foodhall downstairs, cafe- restaurant upstairs) is very popular - but usually packed with tourists.

Thanks again.

Familiar with Läderach...have booked a guided tour of their Bilten location for our visit to Switzerland in October. I've made note of your other suggestions though.
